Hello,

after updating the virtualmin / webmin installation on my server, i suddenly found a new search segment on top of the menu. Due to this, the menu became to long and is not as easy as before.

Within the theme config i was not able to find a method to disable / hide this search segment - although other segments can be controlled (tab order, menu footer icons, …)

Where/how can i disbaled those search field ?

Hello,

Would you like to hide the search bar completely?

Hello Ilia,

yes, thanks. The complete element:

<li class="menu-container search-form-container new-layout-prod">
  <form id="webmin_search_form" action="/webmin_search.cgi" role="search">
    <div class="form-group">
      <input type="text" class="form-control sidebar-search" name="search" placeholder="Search">
      <i class="fa fa-search"></i>
    </div>
    <div class="autocomplete-dropdown-container"></div>
  </form>
</li>

I would have expected this setting in this area:

hit theme extensions & add

.search-form-container{
display:none;
}

to styles.css which is the default extension

Note this will also remove the search option in the webmin menu

Thank you jimr1,

i already looked out for the styles.css in the /etc/ folder and a way to modify the CSS in virtualmin.

Thank you for pointing me to the right method. For everyone:

  • Click on the “Theme Configuration” icon below the menu
  • Click “Theme Extensions” in the content panel footer
  • Select the “styles.css” in the dropdown (only if required)
  • Enter your CSS code
  • Click “Save and close”

better still use the css class

new-layout

rather than

search-form-container

using new-layout class does not remove the search option from the webmin menu only virtualmin

new-layout is a weird CSS class. I am sure it works but a very daft name. :grinning_face:
